Pros

Nice views from the NY office Analytics teams are brilliant folks and some of the best in the business

Cons

Senior Executive ranks are some of the most political and frankly awful people I have ever dealt with. Very much operate in a boiler room environment that often leaves staff bewildered and frustrated. Mental harassment like somewhere I have never seen. Constant game playing where it's a beauty contest audition across the teams and staff with no real method for feedback. Weak morale in the NYC office. No one knows each other, what they do, and teams do not work well with each other. Often biting and rude feedback across the client teams. Contracts with clients are ill-defined and not aligned across the cross-functional teams. Often other teammates have to pick up slack from others due to poor contracts and alignment across the teams. The phrase, "that is your problem, not mine" often used. Any folks looking at this company are keen to look at other opportunities as this is a company that is figuring it out and it does not truly know what it is now.

Pros

- none. this company is soul suckingly inefficient and they prefer it that way

Cons

- the most dishonest and toxic work environment that I have ever been a part of - the most unqualified management that I have come across (I have worked across numerous agencies - the work is sketchy at best and clients are grossly over billed. Pressuring employees to over bill clients and trying to force inaccurate or incomplete work through the purposely inefficient review processes is common practice at RC - if you do not over bill your clients your managers will begin to micromanage you in a manner that hints at you not doing enough. - Account teams know nothing about media or advertising and make the most uninformed promises to clients and that media activation is constantly on the hook and being blamed for - they hire very little or no men in general. this place is like a toxic middle school atmosphere, it is truly exhausting to be a part of. - managers will routinely insult you in a way you've never been insulted before at work and nothing will be done about it - information is usually gate kept and teams will prevent you from doing your job while management is asking that you contribute more.
